Mornings start with a homemade breakfast in the cozy dining room, or opt to have breakfast in bed. Afternoon tea and pastries are also served in-room or in the dining room. The private cottage is by far the best room with its own deck, hammock, garage and lots of space. The ferry dock is within walking distance.

Supply Chain Insurance
As an operating business it is in the best interest of all stakeholders that a strategic supply chain management plan is put in place so that when there is a catastrophic disruption in a company's supply chain, various steps can be taken to minimize the risk.
So how does a business mitigate the risks imposed by a disruption in its supply chain?
First we address the risks that are associated with disruptions in a company's supply chain. Disruptions in a company's supply chain can come in various forms. Most of them will fall along the lines of:
- Political risks and labor unrests
- Mother nature and natural disasters
- Fire and power grid blackouts.
- Equipment breakdowns.
The next step is to put together a comprehensive supply chain risk management program that clearly outlines how a company evaluates its suppliers and responds to any disruptions in its supply chain. So that in the event of any unforeseen disruption in the supply chain, the company is well positioned to mitigate risk posed by that particular disruption and lessen the financial impact to the business.
The following questions will help you identify your suppliers and in turn lessen the risk of disruptions in the supply chain (Zurich Insurance, 2012):
- Do you know how your critical suppliers are, and how much their failure would impact your company's profits?
- Have you fully mapped out your critical supply chain upstream to the raw material level and downstream to the customer level?
- Have you integrated risk management process into your supply chain management approaches?
- Do you have routine, timely systems for measuring the financial stability of critical suppliers?
- Do you understand your tier 1 production facilities and logistic hub exposures to natural catastrophes?
- Is supply chain risk management integrated into your enterprise risk management approach?
- Do you record the details of supply chain incidents and the actions you have put in place to avoid future incidents?
- Do you tier 1 suppliers have business continuity plans that have been tested in terns of their viability?
- Have you provided risk training to your supply chain management team?
- Is risk on the agenda at performance meetings with your strategic suppliers?
Zurich Insurance (2012), one of the leading providers for supply chain disruption insurance outlined what their risk assessments have discovered for various businesses:
- Identified two key 2nd tier suppliers that were in significant financial trouble.
- Recognized a higher loss potential of a supplier than anticipated by insured: USD $10 million vs. USD 1 Million.
- Discovered actual reliance on one supplier significantly greater than presumed: 70% vs. 20%
- Determined that a key component supplier and it's alternative were located in earthquake zone.

Cargo Insurance
If you own cargo, you need property insurance. It all depends on the value of the load. Our expert brokers will advice on what is excluded when it comes to insuring and protecting your cargo load. Coverage can also be provided for marine business interruption and consequential loss insurance when in conjunction with the transit risk.
Non-Owned Cargo
When you accept freight that is not owned you take on the risk the minute it's put on the truck or trailer and it does not stop until you have delivered. Cargo insurance can be complex and problematic. It touch many facets of contract law and gets complicated if the logistics chain involves multiple parties. Getting the right policy is critical to avoiding complex claims issues
Talk to a Hallmark Cargo Coverage Specialist today!

Warehousing is a property in transit coverage that has been kept at a location for over 30 days. It needs to have its own wording and should be back up with proper documentation from the insured.

It is important that customer and the party warehousing the freight and the insurance advisor are all on the same page. Have a trusted advisor in this area is paramount.

401 6th St, San Francisco, CA | Directions 9410337.777215 -122.403796
Thu-Mon, hours vary
Neighborhoods: SoMa (South of Market), Central East, SoMa
Best 24hour Party... – this was the first club I went to when i first moved to San Francisco...and when i come to the city (4 times a year)...I go to the End Up. the party recently got ferocious...I think it's the new ownership...brings back the old days...
what happened – Ever since the new owners took over, ths place has been headed to the dumps and fast.
This is the only place to End-UP after a nite of partin'! All my friends N I always hang out here for Drinks, Good Music to chill or to Dance to. The service from the bartenders N the freindly security make this a safe & fun place to be. The outside patio area is GREAT!!! to be able to lounge & socialize out in the sunshine makes it twice as fun!!
where someone you know may be there.... – No matter how long it's been you know the second you walk in your somewhere familiar. The music lures you in and either playing pool, chillin on the patio, or dancing there heart out is someone you recognize... so kick back get a drink and enjoy the music because the DJ's are there for ur- workin it. Most times it happens to get a little crowded but it's worth the good time!!!
Endup – EndUp is the best dance club in San Francisco, except when its crowded, which is much of the time. Beware of the amateur security.
Know which day to go – This is a really great place after all the clubs have closed to go here & dance some more. The have heater lamps to lounge outside & talk to people. Keep in mind that friday is all guys so if your gay go on that night, saturday just a regular old clubbing night
Best SF Club – The Endup... contrary to previous opinions expressed here... is cheese free. This is the best place to get down in SF. I would recommend Kit Kat over the other nights when you can hear Jellybear or Leonard from In House throwdown. And yes, there are loads of tweakers but hey... that's what makes the party go off after all, no?
SF Club History – This place may have a gay history but it's a lot less evident these days, now it's more famous for cheezy house music, so San Francisco is the best place for it. The Back patio makes it a great place to come on sundays in the middle of the day, just relax a little and people watch in the sun. Every now and thene there'll be a good DJ, but there are too many amateurs who just want to be David Harness or Garth (I wish they'd pick better role models). Despite all this, it feels like a good place. Probablty the last honest club in the city, everyone is there to party, rather than to be seen in the right place.
Best space in the city – My favorite bar for over 15 years. The end-up is the best place to spend a after work Fri. all the way to monday morning. Why go anywhere else?
a hotty patatie! – Loved the dancers and the music- environment is a 10!

Plants provide high-impact color all summer long while requiring little to no maintenance. It's no wonder cockscombs are a favorite of gardeners and designers!

At long last the first show of the Australasia Tour is here, at a walled in outdoor area at the Lapangan Senayan Stadium in Jakarta. It rained quite a bit today so the grounds are quite wet and muddy (say goodbye to your shoes), but now the skies have cleared for the evening and the people have flooded in, and they are clearly ultra excited and ready to rock. It's about time we did this!
Outside the show area they set up a side stage where local bands have been entertaining the crowds before the main gates opened (and continue to till weezer starts), plus they had a giant weezer display that people have been taking their picture with while waiting to rock out. The vibes are great, the local staff has been super helpful, the tech people and our crew have been kicking ass and everything is ready to go - its time for the band and the crowd to join up for some magic. Thank you Indonesia!!!

Goodstorm, or "capitalism done right" as their tag line says, have released v2.0 of their API. Product-wise their big addition is on the MP3 side where "developers now have access to 2.5 million tracks from IODA, the Orchard, CD Baby, InGrooves and several other music distributors and labels." Along with that is access to a lot of metadata: "The MP3 API includes detailed artist, album, and track information — including reviews and bios — along with preview clips for every track. The book, CD, and DVD API provides metadata such as artist/author, title, subtitle, annotation, subject, genre, and more."
And why do they argue they are the "progressive ecommerce company"? Because in their MeCommerce program 50% of profit is passed-through to affiliates, or in this case, developers. For more details see TechCrunch and the Financial Times (PDF).
To help generate interest in their new-and-improved API, this week they kicked-off a new developer contest. First prize is $1,000, second is $500 in free downloads, and third is an iPod Nano. Deadline is December 15th. The contest is now added to the ProgrammableWeb /contests page.
See their Programmable Web API entry.
The contest link just goes to the blog?! Please update the link.
Thanks Wally! Link now updated.

From the soul's point of view, you come to appreciate that each one of us is living out his or her own karma. We interact together, and those interactions are the grist for each other's mill of awakening. From a personality point of view, you develop judgment, but from the soul's point of view, you develop appreciation. This shift from judging to appreciating — to appreciating yourself and what your karmic predicament is, and who other beings are with their own karma — brings everything into a simple loving awareness. To be free means to open your heart and your being to the fullness of who you are, because only when you are resting in the place of unity can you truly honor and appreciate others and the incredible diversity of the universe.
When I perform a wedding ceremony, the image I invoke is of a triangle formed by the two partners and this third force, which is the shared love that unites and surrounds them both. In the yoga of relationship, two people come together to find that shared love but continue to dance as two. In that union, both people are separate and yet not separate. Their relationship feeds both their unique individuality and their unity of consciousness. Love can open the way to surrendering into oneness. It gets extraordinarily beautiful when there's no more "me" and "you," and it becomes just "us." Taken to a deeper level, when compassion is fully developed, you are not looking at others as "them." You're listening and experiencing and letting that intuitive part of you merge with the other person, and you're feeling their pain or joy or hope or fear in yourself. Then it's no longer "us" and "them"; it's just "us." Practice this in your relationships with others.
At a certain point, you realize that you see only the projections of your own mind. The play of phenomena is a projection of the spirit. The projections are your karma, your curriculum for this incarnation. Everything that's happening to you is a teaching designed to burn out your stuff, your attachments. Your humanity and all your desires are not some kind of error. They're integral parts of the journey.
Buy Polishing the Mirror HERE.
In order for us to be able to make these teachings available to everyone, we need your support. As Ram Dass says, "When you see the Beloved all around you, everyone is family and everywhere is love." We are all affecting the world every moment – our actions and states of mind matter, because we are so deeply interconnected with one another.

I met a guru of mine about 7 years ago in Tiburon ; he was openly hateful to me ; I guess he may have thought I was trying to steal his boyfriend ? anyway ; I was shocked as I had read all his books and changed my life in ways that were somewhat grueling ( becoming a sadhu basically – with a back pack full of his books ; wandering rivers and mountains looking for God ) – so to meet him and treat me so sadistically made me grieve for all I had abandoned in order to follow him – what sort of guru is that Richard ? any thoughts ..?
- Amrita Nadi
Well, before "Richard" answers you, dear, i would like to put in a quick two cents. There is never any excuse for any abuse, at any time, by anyone. i married a local "guru, " and his lectures, and teachings, were brilliant but i discovered he was soooo full of himself – sadly, that he was not capable of loving anyone else. So, maybe take what you learned, and cherish it, apply what is valuable, and let go the teacher. And know that you are a very precious being in God's eyes . . in anyone's eyes. Blessings.
- jartlewis
Very well said advise.
- D.Braun
Sandwiching someone between you and God doesn't bring you closer to God, but only the someone's limits.
Unless your "guru" is healing the sick and raising the dead, he hasn't really decided to let go of not-knowing, and can only teach what he knows.
- jartlewis
So true and wise.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Excellent Quality
Polka Dot Passion Save the Date Cards I purchased the Polka Dot Passion Save the Dates and was very pleased with them. The paper quality is fantastic and I feel that they look very classy and professional going out to my guests. We personalized the language and added pictures, both of which were executed perfectly. I think the picture quality could have been a little better (but this was most likely caused by the size of the photo that I uploaded to begin with) but overall I was very pleased with the end result. In addition, I was extremely pleased with how quickly I received my order. I placed my order on a Tuesday evening and they were delivered to me the following Monday! The turnaround time was fantastic. I will definitely be using Magnet Street for my invitations given the quality of the Save the Dates and customer service received thus far.
We got SO many compliments!

2012 sees 10 percent jump in home sales
San Antonio area sees uptick in sales, prices
If you're thinking about sticking a for sale sign in your front yard, there's reason to be optimistic. Home sales rebounded in 2012.
Last year, 19,940 existing homes sold in the San Antonio area, a 10.5 percent increase over 2011. That's according to figures released by the San Antonio Board of Realtors.
Brisker sales pushed prices upward, too. The median price of homes that sold last year was $160,100, 5.1 percent higher than the prior year.
The reasons for the upswing include super low mortgage rates, job growth and general housing affordability, according to SABOR.
Credit card surcharges
If you use your credit card out of state, beware.
Beginning Sunday, retailers will be allowed to add a surcharge to credit card transactions up to 4 percent of of the transaction.
However, Texas is one state that bans such surcharges.
One thing Texas consumers may notice is more retailers offering discounts if you use your debit card or cash. The surcharges stem from a lawsuit settlement between Visa and a group of retailers.
Reliable ranges
A Consumer Reports' survey about kitchen ranges purchased in the last five years found some brands more reliable than others. Among the brands that tended to be more repair-prone were KitchenAid and JennAir.
"While we don't have repair histories of individual models, we've found you're much less likely to need repairs if you buy from a brand with a good record of reliability," said Consumer Reports Celia Kuperszmid Lehrman.
The most reliable electric ranges, according to the survey, were Hotpoint, General Electric and Whirlpool. As for gas ranges, the most reliable were Hotpoint, General Electric and Kenmore, according to the survey.

ATHENS, Ga. - After getting off to a 3-6 start in the SEC, the Tennessee Vols caught fire winning six straight games. The Big Orange was looking for another win on Saturday at Georgia to help pad their NCAA tournament resume, but it didn't happen.
In the first half, the Bulldogs were on a run, Sherrard Brantley hit a three to put Georgia up by 11. They were up 3 at the break.
The Vols fought back behind Jordan McRae. He was a one-man show. Eight 3-pointers and a career-high 35 points from the Junior. The last three put the Vols ahead with under 12 to play.
Georgia's Kentavious Caldwell Pope drilled a 3-pointer to put the Bulldogs up by 8. He led Georgia with 24.
Then came the Freshman, Kenny Gaines with a three to put Georgia up by 12 late. The Bulldogs would sweep the series and snap Tennessee's six-game winning streak. The final score was 78-68.

Digital Timestamps on Reason files
Hello everyone.
I'm embroiled in a bit of a dispute regarding the creation of a piece of music. The problem is a simple one. I maintain that I created a piece of music using propellerhead software back in 2008 and the other party claims that it is his creation (also using propellerhead) since sometime this year (2012).
This could get messy if I don't find a solution to resolve the matter.
The Facts Are:
1.) The original of the piece I created using Reason 3 way back in the day. I've since gone on to upgrade to Reason 4 with Record 1, and now even to Reason 6 and the upgrade to Reason 6.02.
2.) For reason 3 files to be usable in Record 1, the files have to be converted to Record files; which i promptly did by importing them and saving them as record files.
3.) Since the Reason 3 files were from that point onwards of little use; I, of course, deleted them, since I had them in the new format which was now my workable property.
4.) When I then bought Reason 6; which now allowed me to open the record files i still had on record ... the resultant save files naturally had the most recent 'date created' timestamp; which of course negates my claim of the original date of creation of the files.
5.) To keep track of my works ... I use briefcasing to keep track of my progress ... and this in turn once again changes the date of creation to the most recent date (of my briefcase updating).
My question is ... how do I determine the proper timestamp for the created article from my reason files. When exactly was the file (older ones) created????????
I have since found some of the original Reason 3 creations ... but even they are only as recent as the time my system last crashed and had to be restored. . Fact is: only one of the reason 3 files is in dispute. The more current ones, viz. the Record 1 and Reason 6 files (creations) are a bigger point of contention.
What I have noticed is: even though I know that some files were created earlier ... they bear the digital timestamp of my last reinstallation of my system, because that is the time at which I copied them back into my system. A rather horrifyingly unsatisfactory result for me in my opinion.
Is there (as in Microsoft Office Documents) a more precise way of determining when a file was created in Properllerhead, that is more accurate than just looking at the properties of the file to see the created and modified dates of said file. There has to be a way, like with microsoft documents to get a more accurate timestamp on the file's digital signature.
If you are able to help me with my dilemma; please respond to this post. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you kindly, in advance for your help.
P.S. Here is an example of the type of inconsistency in the digital timestamp about which I'm talking. Perhaps this helps your more in your endeavour to help me.
I would love for someone from the Propellerhead team of experts to address this issue and offer me some sort of help. Any kind of help would really do!!!

Is popcorn authorized, if you pop the kernels yourself in an air popper?
Stacy Lynn
Gosh I feel like the tough love fairy today. Popcorn is a carb with low nutritional value compared to other choices. Page 83 of the BFL book has a long list of authorized carbs.
My question for you is what would air-popped popcorn do for you that a more nutritious carb would not. I am guessing you are looking for a safe munchy snack, but I may be wrong.
If you are watching a movie with the fam and need a munchy snack try raw sugar snap peas. Can't have too many veggies. :-)
Keep the faith!

I am pretty sure popcorn is high on the glycemic index and it does not add nutritional value. Low calorie per volume, yes. Healthy, no. Plus, people often times add butter and salt. Neither one, very good for you.
I don't think a little popcorn is going to kill you or your results personally. Corn is on the food list, and although it's not the best possible choice in my opinion, allowing yourself some popcorn if that's what you want could actually help you stay on track. It's all about moderation and finding what works for you!
As for me, I ate popcorn during my challenge and still do....for movie purposes only. So during my challenge, I would pop my own 100 calorie bags of popcorn and take that and an AdvantEDGE shake in my purse and would enjoy that during my movie. My hubby would be eating his buttery fat laden movie popcorn next to me, and having my own popcorn kept me perfectly satisfied. I do the same thing to this day with either 1/2 bag of light butter popcorn (made at home) or some Quaker Cracked Pepper and Sea Salt mini rice cakes (this flavor doesn't contain hydrogenated oils like some of the other flavors they make)...I use that as my carb and pair it with a low carb protein shake. It's yummy and it does the trick for me during movies. There are also healthier alternatives like 1/2 cup dry roasted edamame that work well as a crunchy snack too. Not sure if your popcorn is for movie times or just for snacking, but whatever the case, you absolutely can use that as your carb if you'd like, but I would keep my mind open to healthier options that pack more of a nutritional punch. There is some fiber in popcorn, but not much on the side of any real nutrients.
Thanks for the good insight, Emily.

Before, I would use my own air popped popcorn sprayed with non fat olive oil pam spray, lightly coated with seasoning salt like garlic salt. Would this hinder my results??
Well, I guess my husband & I are doing a little bad thing. We have air popped popcorn every night with zero everything butter flavored cooking spray and almost zero everything white cheddar popcorn seasoning. We alternate our protein we have with it: 1 oz of string cheese, or nuts, or beef jerky.
It's our reward for all the hard exercise and eating right for the day.
I guess it's not the best choice but it does keep us happy & on track.
So........ how bad does everyone think this will hurt us?
Live Love Lift!
Dee :)
Here's my thought on the subject. I LOVE popcorn. I try to limit myself to it maybe once or twice a week. Not because I think it'll hurt my results, but because I like rewards to work towards.
In the BFL book, corn is considered a carb- thats all that pop corn is. Corn. A carb. right? So I measure out one serving size and toss it in to my air popper and drizzle some E.V. Olive oil on it and sprinkle with season salts.
String cheese isn't a protein though. I try to suffer through cottage cheese before I eat popcorn.

MALONE (AP) - A northern New York teenager with no driver's license has admitted to smoking marijuana before crashing a car last December, killing a 16-year-old friend and severely injuring another teen.
The Press-Republican of Plattsburgh reports that 17-year-old Tanya Menke of Brushton pleaded guilty in Franklin County Court to criminally negligent homicide in the death of Brook Lyon of Moira.
Authorities say Menke only had a learner's permit and had smoked pot before her car crashed on a road Brandon on Dec. 7. Lyon was killed and 17-year-old Alexis Colette of Brushton suffered serious injuries. Menke also pleaded guilty to vehicular assault for the injuries Colette suffered.
All three were students at Brushton-Moira Central School.
Menke's sentence will be based on whether a county court judge determines if she should be granted youthful-offender status.

1236 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA | Directions 0213842.372519 -71.115984
Neighborhoods: Riverside
Uncomfortable atmosphere: Unprofessional customer service – A waitress of your staff was rude to me the moment she sat us down at our table. She was very short in her conversation, not friendly, unavailable for service several times, and had a negative attitude. She placed the bill on our table, but never returned to collect our credit card. Since my party and I had to catch the Harvard Shuttle, we decided to pay at the front counter, instead of waiting on her to return to collect our credit card. Upon approaching the front register, she stopped us, and blocked us from going any farther, as if we were attempting to leave without paying; until she saw that we had the receipt holder in our hands. At this moment, I told the hostess at the front of the restaurant that the particular waitress had treated us rudely, and that she assumed that we were going to leave without paying, gesticulating and frowning at us threateningly. Her actions seemed to reflect an alarmed instinct when she saw us walking toward the register near the restrooms, not the door.
At this point, I spoke with the "Manager", because the hostess shortly and rudely told me to speak with him, not her. He held both my arms, as if to apologize for the incident. However, he did not apologize for the incident, and when I asked him to please not touch me, he responded to my comment with a homophobic insult saying that he "would not touch me", because "he did not want to make love to me", and continued to go on about not wanting to touch me "like that", when I never asked for him to touch me in the first place. He was completely dismissive, and overlooked the issue, which repeatedly showed all three employee's inaptitude in customer service. I will make sure to boycott this restaurant, and to tell my friends of the subtly racist and homophobic treatment I felt there. I will not support establishments with bad customer service, and that expect its customers to accept discriminatory treatment, without complaint. I will never dine in this restaurant for the rest of my one and a half year left in the Cambridge area, and will persuade my friends to avoid this establishment altogether, even as a last resort.
Drinks without liquor? – Just about every college student in Boston hits the Hong Kong at some point in their career. It's practically impossible to avoid. That doesn't mean it's a good idea, though. The scorpion bowl, ubiquitous on every table, are hardly worth the money - they're filled with juice, ice, and not much else. Of course, if you think you're getting drunk, the placebo effect will get you a little tipsy. One plus - the scorpion bowl comes decorated with tiny plastic trinkets and mile-long straws, perfect for playing with in lieu of trying to hold a conversation over the loud music. And if you do somehow feel tipsy, there's plenty of fried Chinese food to sop it all up.
Place could not be any worse – Scorpion bowls= sugar and the cheapest alcohol they have. Just watch them make it and you'll see..I have not eaten at this place but from the decor one could image the experience.
Popular Harvard hangout serves up lethal mixed drinks and a lively bar scene. – In Short
The scorpion bowls (lethal, fruity troths of booze) at the dated, low-key Hong Kong are an age-old Harvard University favorite. While the exotic drinks are the main attraction at this college hangout, the restaurant's straightforward Chinese fare provides an affordable dining option. Boisterous patrons head to the upstairs bar area to mingle, watch the Sox game and down tropical drink concoctions.
crazy college days – if you're a harvard student, at some point or other you will be initiated into the ways of the scorpion bowl at the kong. the food's OK, and the atmosphere's kitschy fun; definitely worth a trip.

Two tracks I absolutely can't get out of my head this past week both have something indirectly to do with Baltimore synth poppers Future Islands.
The first, which you may remember from being on a recent mix of mine, is a Future Islands remix by the simply named Jones which features the female half of Beach House, Victoria Legrand. Still present are the soft keyboard sounds both Future Islands and Legrand are known for, but Jones adds a throbbing bass line to give the track more locomotion and a couple of more industrial layers to beef up the minimalist instrumentals of the original. Although the cut-ups of "My Little Dreamer" towards the end is a bit "DJ hokey", it doesn't take away that much from the overall brilliance of the track.
The second song is from the solo-effort of Future Island's keyboardist Gerrit Welmers which goes by the name of Moss of Aura. Interesting enough, I found out about them from a Beach House tweet urging fellow tweeters (or twitter-ers?) to listen to some of his new material. The most gripping song from the new bunch in my opinion is "Tidal". Simply constructed, Welmers ditches some of the Dan Deacon-esque electro lines he makes for Future Islands, and replaces them with gripping slow-moving melodies reminiscent of a more powerful version of Neon Indian's "(If I Knew, I'd Tell You)".
You can check out both tracks below:
Little Dream // Future Islands (Jones Remix ft. Victoria Legrand)
[UPDATE] From Welmers: "Right now I am finishing a new album that is way different than the others and I am way psyched about it. It will be finished within the week. Also, the Remix album will be out very soon." AWESOME!

About Steve R.
Blame Bush. No buck necessary.
Was the contract awarded as a political reward?
This may be similar to Solyndra where a company gets a so-called "loan" not to actually produce anything useful, but to get "free" taxpayer $$$$.
Since the website developers may have been paid for "work" already done, will bankruptcy be the next step?
And along those lines, the submission of real plans that can actually be used to make the product. No conceptual "cloud" plans or black boxes.
Obama has publicly stated he is not after regime change in Syria. Yet Obama proposed to aide the rebels in various manners with their overthrow of Assad. Obama is being deceitful with the American public.
The Obama administration appears to lack "evidence" concerning the Benghazi attack by terrorists. Amazingly, the Obama administration has the (selective) capability to acquire "evidence that Assad used chemical weapons.
Conversely, rumors abound that it was the rebels who instituted the chemical weapons discharge in Syria. So what has US surveillance snooping disclosed concerning the rebels?
Given all of our vaunted surveillance technology why does the US apparently lack a real smoking-gun? Seems that the facts are being massaged for political gain, not to get to the truth.
Fundamentally, blaming games is politically expedient and has a veneer to populist acceptance (nothing is my fault, I am a victim) that focuses of ever more repressive laws as so-called "solutions". Following the recent deaths of Lane, and Belton; the Fox News pundits finally got one right.
They have blamed the increased violence on a breakdown in the family with a growing subculture of thuggery. The Fox News pundits, much to their credit, did dismiss violent video games as a cause of increased violence.
Unfortunately, neither the media nor the politicians will want to or be able sell the decline in American culture as being the cause of increased violence. It would run counter to faux growing need of legislation to protect us from so-called harm and there would not enough votes.
The Obama administration continues to "enforce" the law in an arbitrary capricious whimsical manner. NPR reported: "On Tuesday, immigration asylum officers found that all nine had credible fear of persecution or torture in their birth country and could therefore not be immediately removed.". 'Dream 9' Activists Released From Immigration Detention. So if these people face the fear of persecution, surly Snowden does.
While not specifically a US incident, Jordan granted asylum to a Syrian pilot that "stole" a Syrian jet to defect to Jordan.
Here is what the Obama administration stated according to CNN
"Tommy Vietor, spokesman for the White House National Security Council, said, "We welcome this pilot's decision to do the right thing. We have long called for the military and members of the Syrian regime to defect and abandon their positions rather than be complicit in the regime's atrocities.
"This is just one of countless instances where Syrians, including members of the security forces, have rejected the horrific actions of the Assad regime, and it certainly will not be the last."
So the Obama adminstration, on one hand, encourages the committing of illegal acts and claims that stealing and defecting is doing the right thing; but then when it comes to Snowden and Manning they claim that vile traitors acts were committed.
Considering that many governments and small businesses are financially strapped; they should consider open source software such a LibreOffice. Most employees usually use "basic" programs, such as word processing or a spreadsheet. There is virtually no economic justification to buy an MS Office Suite with a lot of unnecessary features.
One of my daughters is in college. While home for the summer she signed-up for an on-line course. Not only did she have to pay an exorbitant price for a digital book, but she had to pay a shipping charge!!!! Like geo-blocking this is absurd.
Normally when you buy a product, you acquire the property right to use that product. Now the "sellers" claim that you are only "leasing" that product and if you violate the "Terms of Service" that they can take an adverse action against you. But it only gets worse, these companies are begging to obtain the police powers of the State to criminalize and enforce a violation of the "Terms of Service"
To think that Obama received a Noble Peace prize by simply being elected without actually having accomplished anything to promote world peace
Furthermore, Obama has kept the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan going (though we have recently withdrawn from Iraq). Now he is arming the Syrian rebels which will keep that civil war going, which will raise the body count. Obama is not accomplishing anything that would promote world peace.
When did the US government ever return a Soviet/Russian/Chinese/North Korean spy who defected to the US?
While not a direct US issue, Jordan granted asylum to a Syrian pilot who "stole" his airplane by flying into Jordan.
CNN reported: "Tommy Vietor, spokesman for the White House National Security Council, said, "We welcome this pilot's decision to do the right thing. We have long called for the military and members of the Syrian regime to defect and abandon their positions rather than be complicit in the regime's atrocities." So the US supports "illegal" acts on one hand, but then capriciously condemns them on the other hand. Outrageous.
USB flash drives would be the current state of the art.
Benghazi, being what we need to be distracted from?
The Obama administration has been fanning the flames of fear and paranoia claiming the US is under "attack". Snowden simply exposed (open secret) that the US itself is "attacking".
In the name of protecting itself, the US is violating the sovereignty of foreign nations.
The Obama sycophants sing the praises of Obama "restoring" US stature after blame Bush. Seems that they need to apply some critical thinking skills to re-assess their messiah.
Obama asserts to have an open and transparent administration. It would seem that Manning an Snowden are complying with that philosophy.
Also since this is the day before July 4, don't forget that the founding fathers; from the perspective of the British, were considered to be lawbreakers, traitors, and revolutionaries.
Spending billions to "stop" someone from killing Americans will be a never ending cycle. Pakistani Taliban (June 23, 2013) killed nine in "retaliation" for US drone strikes. Will the US now increase the number of drone strikes in retaliation?
Every country spies on every other country. A no brainer. If spying is no big deal, why is the Obama administration promoting a culture of fear? Why the incessant increasing hysterical irrational demands for ever greater "security" to "protect" us from those "attacking" the US?
In reading the "traditional" media, such as the Washington Post it would appear that the US is "under attack". One such attack that has been splattered has been Chinese cyber-attacks on US computer networks. I don't doubt that has been occurring, but it seems that the US has itself been busy in the cyber-attack realm. Enough of this fear mongering to promote an evermore repressive government in the name of supposed "security".
" the USA government is of the opinion that it can do whatever the hell it likes, to whomsoever it likes,.... Quite true, the US totally ignores (violates) the sovereignty of other countries.

"We changed the wording on this card to fit for our baby shower. The couple wanted something butterfly themed for their little girl, but neutral, modern and not overly pink/girly. Loved the design of this card, and thankful it allowed us to personalize exactly how we wanted it. Wonderful!"
"This item arrived quickly and perfectly! The recipients all thought it was cute and loved the customization of it. It's a nice thick card and even the envelopes are sturdy! Which was surprising since I'm used to light and flimsy envelopes that can allow the card or pictures to be damaged in the mail. Very cute and would highly recommend any products from Tinyprints!!"
"It was so hard to find announcements for my sister's pregnancy!! I did not want a shower invite or a birth announcement as she lives far and we could not coordinate a shower. This was a GREAT way to get the word out and with TinyPrints, they had amazing announcements just for this and did all the rest for me!!!"
"Like another reviewer; I had the text changed to "we have an egg in our nest" vs. "we filled the nest." In this day and age when people announce such important things via social media, I am very excited to let our closest friends and family know the great news with these beautiful announcements. The customer service was absolutely wonderful as always; I just love Tiny Prints!"
"This product definitely exceeded my expectations. It was done excellently and my family loved receiving such stylish announcements. I added my own little flair to the picture by putting our most recent sonogram pic on it. Paper and print quality was wonderful!"

Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Aldous Huxley preceded Ram Dass and Tim Leary in explorations of the remote frontiers of the mind and unmapped areas of human consciousness. In doors of perception, Huxley studied the profound effects of mind-expanding drugs. In the book "Island" he described an ideal society that flourished on a remote South Sea island. An outsider is shipwrecked on the island and is shown the values of this ideal society, and learns about hope.
In order for us to be able to make these teachings available to everyone, we need your support. As Ram Dass says, "When you see the Beloved all around you, everyone is family and everywhere is love." We are all affecting the world every moment – our actions and states of mind matter, because we are so deeply interconnected with one another. So please do lend your support to help us make this vast offering from Ram Dass and friends accessible to all.

Wonderful to hear this podcast with Ram Dass in fine form. Aldous Huxleys legacy, and that of Laura as well are beacons in the darkness of the rubbish we are drip fed daily. We were not meant to go blind through this paradise, or does one have to become an old soul to even start on the spiritual or seekers path? For that one instant of blinding insight, where wonder and awe, and I mean awe in it's raw term, not that which is bandied about by people who prefer to look at their smartphones than take in the ever present breathtaking view, leave you with the ultimate paradox to play around with, that one moment is worth everything. Why is this the domain of the fringe? it should be the goal of the majority, wouldn't things change in this world, in this life…..sorry, positivism rears it's head again ! Love, peace, Tibetan Bells and try not to slip on that old cosmic banana peel!

Aldous was unique and a FREE HUMN BE-ING! The only one in America at that time in the late 1950′s

Aldous has always been an inspiration for me…as in I have been inspired to aspire to the noble way he chose to live his life, and the beautiful way in which he was allowed to choose his departure from his earthbound existence. Facing my inevitable demise, which is being hurried along by an unfortunate bone disease, I would be overjoyed if I were allowed to follow that example. I'm not speaking of merely the obvious, but of the beauty of the overall experience…the nearness of loved ones in a peaceful, harmonious setting, and the final dignified perfection that his graceful and awesome departure must surely have been. Such beauty.

Some of us are stuck in the mental health system due to this assemblyine psychiatry and medication withdrawal syndromes that cause extreme states of consciousness…he really did see ahead, in Brave New World as the powers that be decide that a large portion of society is not viewing reality properly. It has become absurd. Meanwhile the medications are reducing lifespans and the mental hospitals are rife with human rights abuses which are causing more complex cases of PTSD. One can find ways in spirit to still transcend such oppression. Anyways, I appreciate this talk, really insightful. In Mad Love, Nancy
